As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz aims to fulfill its responsibility toward society and the environment, and help ensure safe, sustainable mobility for the future for people and the goods they transport.

Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz.



More space to work. More room to grow. A large cargo area is good. But a large cargo area in which you can work standing up is even better. Say hello to the Sprinter Cargo Van. With headroom of up to 78.2* inches, you’ve got the freedom of movement you need for fast loading and unloading. You can also pack a lot into your Sprinter with a spacious cargo area of up to 547 cu. ft. that can be loaded with up to 5,415 lbs. of cargo. And, the Sprinter gives you all the options you need to reliably secure this extra load. Simply put, no other van in its class can match it.

Whatever your business, there's a configuration to match. The Sprinter Cargo Van gives you choices: two wheelbases, three body lengths, two cargo area heights, three gross vehicle weight classes and a wide range of optional equipment that allow you to meet almost any requirement. And should you need to trans­port a crew as well, the Sprinter 3500 Cargo Van with lateral quarter windows in the cargo area and a removable, optional, rear seat bench is just the ticket. In this con­figuration, it offers room for up to six people, with­out compromising the Sprinter’s hallmark versatility.

Safety is a precious commodity. There’s no such thing as too much safety. That’s why we’ve made every effort to ensure that the Sprinter offers drivers, passengers, and cargo a high degree of protection. At the forefront of this is the Electronic Stability Program ADAPTIVE ESP®1 which takes into account the vehicle load and adjusts accordingly. When vehicle loads vary during the course of a trip, sensors determine the current load level, enabling ADAPTIVE ESP®1 to perform its precisely measured stabilizing procedures.

In order to increase handling safety when towing a trailer, ADAPTIVE ESP®1 functions for the Sprinter include ESP® Trailer Stability Assist.1 If the trailer starts to sway, the system counteracts these movements to help the driver stabilize the vehicle/trailer combination. ESP® Trailer Stability Assist is activated automatically if a trailer hitch is fitted at the factory. It can also be activated by your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealer after retrofitting a trailer hitch to the vehicle.1

Feel better about leaving less of an impact. At Mercedes-Benz, we believe that we have an obligation to ensure responsible and sustainable mobility for the future. That’s where BlueEFFICIENCY® comes in with trailblazing efficiency technologies for optimiz­ing fuel economy and emissions. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter provides impressive proof of the positive impact BlueEFFICIENCY® can have. Through the use of innovative BlueTEC® SCR diesel technology, the Sprinter

AdBlue® Diesel Exhaust Fluid is available from all Sprinter dealers. The fluid level should be checked during your scheduled maintenance visit. The image on the left shows the DEF tank for the Cab Chassis; the image on the right shows the DEF filler neck in the engine compartment for the Cargo Van/Passenger Van/Crew Van.

Technology | BlueEFFICIENCY

complies with the strict emissions limits of the EPA 10 standard, while still delivering a powerful, yet efficient drivetrain. The innovative BlueTEC® technology reduces emissions by filtering the exhaust gases and sending them through a catalytic converter, where they are mixed with the water-based additive DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid),

available under the AdBlue® brandname. In this process, pollutant nitrogen oxides are converted into harmless nitrogen and water. The result is a substantial reduction in pollutants and soot particles and one of the world’s cleanest diesel engines. What you get is state-ofthe-art engine technology, incredible fuel economy and very low emissions – all in combination with impressive power delivery and a remarkably low noise level.




Impressive on the road, and the balance sheet. Mercedes-Benz has been developing and building powerful and effi­cient diesel engines for a hundred years, not only improving cost of operation, but also enhancing resale value. This is also reflected in the Sprinter’s highly sophisticated, turbocharged, V6 CDI diesel power­plant.1 Offering an impressive 188 hp, the engine boasts clean combustion, low emissions, and a high level of efficiency. In the Sprinter, it forms the basis for BlueTEC®, the innovative Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) diesel technology from Mercedes-Benz.

With peak torque of 325 lb-ft, there’s plenty of power to go around, even for heavy-duty tasks like climbing hilly roads, passing on the highway and accelerating in the city. Thanks to state-of-the-art common-rail technology, the peak torque is available at low revs – precisely when it matters in a van. An enhanced 5-speed automatic transmission and standard Start-Off Assist means that your daily trips on the road become something to look forward to. As if the power delivery

The only approved biodiesel content is one that both meets ASTM D6751 specifications and has the oxidation stability necessary to prevent deposit-/corrosion-related damages to the system (min. 6h, proven by EN14112 method). Please see your service station for further information. If the B5 biodiesel blend does not clearly indicate that it meets the above standards, please do not use it.
